These are very moist and flavorful. I will add some nutmeg next time, though, as it is a favorite spice of mine in banana muffins. Thank you for adding the US measurements for us dummies who don't understand metric :) I skipped the icing sugar and ricotta.

In one word. . .MOIST!!! WOW were these yummy! I made a couple changes (all worked wonderfully): Subbed 1 T applesauce for 1 of the eggs, subbed 2T of applesauce for 2T of the oil, then subbed 1/4 cup Splenda for 1/4 cup brown sugar. I ate mine naked, no sugar or ricotta. THANKS for sharing! Made for MAKE MY RECIPE TAG.

These are very moist and make for a delicious breakfast treat. I did use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the brown sugar and 2 very ripe bananas. Recipe #145505 was used in place of the ground cinnamon. These were served with cottage cheese and fruit for a nice healthy breakfast. Made for *Aussie Swap 24*

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
